question: recovering 'Pinball Construction Set' user games



Hi.  Back in the 80s, I made several games with the Pinball
Construction Set.
Years later, I'd love to play these games on my Apple II emulator (or,
heck, even the real thing) but I've run into a problem:  there appears
to be no easy way to get a CATALOG of the games saved on a Pinball
Construction Set data disk.  Booting them just tells me I should insert
the "boot disk" and reboot.

Furthermore, I can't seem to get a CATALOG from within Pinball
Construction Set itself.  I hit the 'disk' icon and try to load a game,
but I have to type in the name of the game -- I don't see a file
listing option anywhere.  It's been 20 years.  I have no idea what I
named the pinball games I made with it.

I still have the Apple II data disks.  They've been transferred to my
PC twice, once as .dsk images and once as .nib images.  I tried
extracting all the English words embedded in these files, but nothing
turned up.  Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance to all who can help.
